UNSPSC 50586314: Non GMO minibel tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO minibel tomatoes. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50586314 Non GMO minibel tomatoes is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items, specifically specialty tomato varieties, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent solicitations show that actual purchasing under this code spans fresh produce generally — including vegetables, fruits, and specialty items — procured by county parks departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state food service operations. The work involves meeting food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, volume requirements, product freshness guarantees, and adherence to procurement preferences such as domestic sourcing and whole-item specifications. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, independent school districts (particularly those operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), state purchasing departments, and healthcare-affiliated organizations. School districts emerge as the most active recent buyers, with line-item produce bids structured to support multi-school food service operations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Georgia (state-level food supplies) and Florida (Collier County parks concessions), alongside school-district activity in Early County, Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, seeking approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for three schools operating under federal meal programs, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park with a response deadline of March 6, 2025 (note: deadline appears misstated in source as prior to posting date). Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026, and Georgia issued a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. School-district solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium or additive-free formulations; park and healthcare procurements focus on operational variety and seasonal pricing adjustments.
